Studying the pictures I had returned.
I plan to change the Great Hill from 25x38 to 30x51
Late Afternoon in the Hills from 23x28 to 24x43-
Appalachian Highway from 22x28 to 26x43-
The Elm Tree after Rain & Lavender & Old Lace will be enlarged by how much I have not determined.
In all of these, my motives are so powerful that they are cramped in the narrow confines they now have.
P.M. B & I to Buffalo.
A cool cloudy day. Rain & Wind from the east.
